In regards to my collage I feel that different forms of
media have influenced me greatly in many ways. For instance as a child my main
influence was Disney, they taught us our morals, my good from my bad and that
good over comes evil. They taught us to be nice to others. Things like these
movie shaped us as children and some in particular stayed with me throughout my
years, as they are a connection to who we used to be. I don’t feel that my music
tastes really influences my identity, I just find them nice to listen to and
are a complete contrast to my personality, the songs I prefer are loud and over
the top where as I’m naturally quiet. Media in regards to movies influence our
identity, if we find something we like or that is relatable we tend to look for
more aspects that we have in common. Such as if a person admires a skill like
an instrument they will learn it and usually whatever melody the character was
playing.
I don’t believe individuality is an illusion, I believe it
all depends on
a person perspective. I am not an individual and I am not
part of a group, I am me and the media has not influenced that.
